Symbiosis in tha Hood

by
Micky McKeon

Without the hare, there can be no tortoise,
But everybody lookin' for someone to reward us.
See, no one wants to be the silver medal rabbit;
A cocky little hare that always tends to grab at
Any chance he can to take the easy road to gold-
So brash and bold.
But lo and behold
Who's that down the road?
See the bunny's got a buddy
And his buddy's got the money
But the money only goes to the buddy of the bunny
If the bunny puts his money on the race.

You know I'm talkin' 'bout symbiosis.
You gotta be under a spell of hypnosis,
Or suffer from brainwave psychosis
To doubt that anything that grows is
Not in a mutually beneficial relationship with one or more species on this planet earth!

Yo, I'm the doctor, and here's my diagnosis:
Be it hypnosis or brainwave psychosis
The answer you chose is quite far from the facts.
Just look at how the anemone acts.
Protecting them creepy clown fish from their foes
As feeding activity around the anemone grows.
You see?
You find me an independant being
And I'ma send yo sorry ass fleeing
'Cause my knife ain't kind to disagreeing
Dullards who think that they or any other creature can exist without a relationship where both parties gain some ground by the end!

The End
